  The Ultimate Harry S. Truman - American History Information Guide and Reference
Truman (May 8, 1884 – December 26, 1972) was the thirty-fourth (1945) Vice President and the thirty-third (1945 – 1953) President of the United States, succeeding to the office upon the death of Franklin Roosevelt.
Truman's presidency was very eventful, seeing the dropping of the atomic bomb in Japan, the end of World War II, the Marshall Plan to rebuild Europe, the beginning of the Cold War, the desegregation of the U.S. armed forces, the formation of the United Nations, the second red scare, and most of the Korean War.
Truman was a folksy, unassuming president, and popularized phrases such as "The buck stops here" and "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen." He exceeded the low expectations many had at the beginning of his administration, and developed a reputation as a strong, capable leader.

Harry Randall Truman (October 30, 1896 – May 18, 1980) came to brief fame as a resident of the U.S. state of Washington who lived near Mount St. Helens and died in its 1980 eruption after stubbornly refusing to leave.
Harry seemed to shrug off all concerns about St. Helens and his situation, at one point stating, "If the mountain goes, I'm going with it." Indeed, he died in the blast, along with 56 other people, and his body was never found.
Truman joined the U.S. Navy and served in World War I and survived the torpedoing of the Tuscania in February 1918 off the coast of Ireland.

Truman himself declared that HUAC was using "red herrings" to defame Hiss.
Critics fired back that Truman and Acheson were "coddling" communists, and that Hiss was only the tip of the iceberg-they claimed that communists had penetrated the highest levels of the American government.
Though many believed that Hiss was a much-maligned official who became a victim of the anticommunist hysteria of the late-1940s, others felt strongly that he was a lying communist agent.
